I was rooting for Gonzalez so I'm glad to see he made it. He played well this ST espcially with the glove.

Well with Bonifacio now starting, and Amezaga on the DL, Gonzalez could be useful.

When in the blue hell did we get Ross Gload

Glad to see Gonzalez get a shot, he played well all three games I saw him. As for the roster he would be the only one I would call a surprise.

Good pickings on Kiko and Gonzalez. So my last, super obvious, prediction was the right one.

When in the blue hell did we get Ross Gload

 

 

The first day of this month we acquired RHP Hayden Penn from the Orioles for INF Robert Andino. We also acquired OF Ross Gload and cash from the Royals for a PTBN soon after.

This means Lindstrom will be available on Opening Day? Maybe? :confused

im glad for gonzalez as well he looked great in the game i saw him

i understand Penn was out of options but the guy is simply horrible. I remember when the marlins wanted to trade mike lowell for penn and Admin bigbie. How bad that trade would have been.

Maybe, maybe not... maybe he comes here and develops different and turns into an ace or something... Bigbie, not so much....
